I'm having a c-section on Wednesday the 14th. The head to pelvis ratio is too great. It's not so much the head as it is the pelvis. I'm told this runs in the family, I don't think anyone has given birth naturally. It's interesting that I can have hips as wide as a football field but I cant fit a baby through them. The crowns are wide enough but the inner opening (I'd need to pull out my anatomy coloring book for this one) is too narrow. Baby is totally healthy other than that. Well except that it has my nose. My nickname from the family is Magoo cuz I looked like Mr Magoo as a baby, I can tell baby's gonna inherit the same nick.

We didnt even try to see the baby's gender at the last ultrasound. I'm especially glad Greg went with me because the person that did the ultrasound was an older guy in a suit and tie, whereas every other time it's been a young female technician in scrubs. I would have been very nervous being half nekkid in a room with a strange man like that, who knows if Im still prone to flashbacks and flipping out about such things.

I got Greg and Pret applied at that lumber mill. We ran into Gary while there yesterday and he said that he gets a raise and benefits after 90 days. I think Greg would be more suited for that work environment too, I was there during lunch breaks and all the guys are young dirty hippie/redneck types like Greg. Gas to and from Phelps would be more than the pay increase working out there probably, but I like the hours he'd work in Phelps better. Neither place has called him in yet so it's no use thinking too much about it.

I have a million tests and appointments in the next two weeks, some needing to be rescheduled. I have a non stress test today for the baby, an info session on c sections followed by a meeting with my OB on Monday then pre-surgery testing and bullshit on Tuesday.

We've got a lot of shit to do in the house before Baby comes home too. Putting the old crappy bassinette together, detailing the car, cleaning out the bedroom and finishing the nursery, getting a car seat... a zillion more things. I have lists everywhere and they all have different stuff on them. I still didnt get my maternity leave papers back from the Doc, no one ever did them after they were so adamant that I leave them for a week so they could do them. I was promised to be given them at my appt on Monday. Then I still need to get bossman to fill em out and fax em over to the insurance place.

Pret's GF quit her job and Greg's cigarette burnt the kitchen table really badly this morning, I'm issuing a Level 5 Godzilla Warning for tonight. I need to head out to that test now.

Always remember to quit while you're ahead.
